I'm getting tired of having Sasuke put on a condom every time he has sex with Sakura so let's just say he puts on a condom every time he has sex with her.

Chapter 4

Beta Reader: Anime Angel Goddess

Sasuke awoke when he felt something tickling his nose. He twitched his nose and reached up a hand to brush it away. It came back and he opened his eyes in annoyance. Sasuke saw pink hair and followed it down to see Sakura's face. He noticed her cuddling against him and slowly entangled himself from her. Human contact was not on his favorites list, in fact he hated it. The only one he didn't mind it from was his mother. The rest of the time he thought all that affection stuff was a waste of time.

'It's amazing how she and dad fell in love, considering they're total opposites. I guess opposites really do attract.'

Sakura let out a small moan from the loss of warmth and burrowed deeper under the covers.

Sasuke glanced at Sakura one last time and headed to his bathroom to take a shower.

He stepped under the warm water and let his thoughts take over.

'Naruto so annoying, saying I should be nicer to Sakura. He doesn't own her so what right does he have to say anything. Although, mom isn't much better, if it weren't for her I would have never taken Sakura out for dinner.'

He couldn't help but smile at his mom's generous nature. It was so like her to think about others before she thought about herself.

'Who cares about Sakura? She's just a geisha.' (A/N. Geisha's are people too Sasuke!)

He stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He walked back into his room just as Sakura woke up.

"Good morning Sasuke-sama." She greeted in a sleepy voice.

"Hn."

He walked to his closet and missed the disappointed look that flashed across Sakura's face.

'Why is he like this? He was so nice the first day and now he's complete ice cube. I'm not seeing the wonderful guy that Mikoto mentioned at all anymore.'

She watched as Sasuke slipped his shirt over his head.

"Breakfast will be brought up to you, feel free to take a shower if you wish." Sasuke said.

Sakura sighed as the door shut behind Sasuke.

'Is this what my life is going to be like from now on? Mom, dad, I miss you guys so much.'

Sasuke quietly ate his breakfast while his mom happily talked to his dad.

"The girls and I are going to go shopping today. I'm so excited! It's been ages since we were able to go out together. With Mei running the flower shop and Chiyami doing housework, it's been difficult to find a day were the four of us are all free." (A/N. I say the four of them because Hinata's mom doesn't do anything. Just like Mikoto doesn't.)

"That's nice dear."

"We're also going to go for lunch. It'll be so nice to catch up on what everyone's been up too."

Sasuke set his chopsticks down and walked out of the kitchen. He could hear his mom's voice as he walked out the kitchen doorway.

'It's a good thing that mom has plenty to say or else she and dad would almost never talk to each other.'

Sasuke watched as the shuriken he threw hit the tree. He glanced up and saw a hawk flying in the sky.

'A summon from the Hokage.'

He packed up his weapons and headed to Tsunade's office.

"So you've been summoned too."

Sasuke turned around and saw Shikamaru behind him.

"Yeah."

"Tsunade-sama probably wants to assign us another mission. How troublesome."

"If you didn't want to go on missions, you shouldn't have become a ninja."

Shikamaru looked behind him to see Neji with Naruto beside him. Sasuke was already facing the two so there was no need for him to turn around.

"If I weren't a ninja I would be doing something else troublesome." Shikamaru said.

Neji let a quick smile pass over his face at Shikamaru's response to his statement.

"You think everything is troublesome." Naruto said.

"Not true, I think most things are troublesome."
"We should get going." Sasuke said.

Neji and Shikamaru nodded their heads and Naruto opened his mouth to argue.

"Shut up dobe. We were summoned by the Hokage. We shouldn't be wasting any time talking." Sasuke said.

The four walked towards the door and Sasuke knocked before entering. They walked to Tsunade's desk, bowed and waited for her to speak.

"I've summoned the four of you here for a mission. I need the four of you to go on a mission and steal a scroll from an enemy stronghold. The four of you will leave for the Grass Village tomorrow. Since Neji is ANBU he will lead this mission and Sasuke will be second in command."

She handed Neji the scroll and the four bowed before leaving the room.

Neji opened up the scroll and the other three gathered around to read it. He closed up the scroll and the four walked on without a word.

Sasuke stuffed his hands in his pocket and even though he had his usual uncaring look on his face, he was deep in thought.

'We don't know whether or not our enemies are expecting us. I have a feeling this is going to be bad. I just hope no one on the team dies.'

"It's lunch time, let's go to Ichirakus!" Naruto suggested.

Surprisingly no one made an objection and the four walked to Ichiraku. They sat down on the stools and ordered their ramen. Once they did so, silence once more fell over the group.

"We're meeting at the front gates at eight tomorrow."

"Eight? That's so early, what a drag."

Sasuke and Naruto couldn't help but think the same thing. None of them were morning people, including Neji.

Neji slightly glared at Shikamaru.

"We need to head out early for the mission."

Shikamaru sighed but nodded his head.

Their ramen was placed in front of them and the four began eating.

"Hinata-chan and I are going out to dinner tonight."

"Not to Ichirakus, I hope." Sasuke said.

"Shut up teme. I know of more places to eat than Ichirakus!"

Sasuke snorted in disbelief at this.

Before a fight could break out, Neji spoke up.

"Where are you taking my cousin?"

"To a nice romantic restaurant, it's been awhile since I've taken her somewhere nice and I've been saving up."
"Ino, that troublesome woman has been harping to me to take her somewhere nice. I tell her I don't have the money right now and she tells me that I should get the money. Like it's that easy, troublesome woman. I don't know why I put up with her."

"Because you love her." Sasuke said.

The other three stared at him in shock. They were all thinking it but no one expected Sasuke to be the one to say it.

"What? Just because I think love is a useless emotion doesn't mean that I can't tell when other people are in love."

Still slightly shocked the three continued to stare at him.

"Stop staring, it's annoying."

The three quickly looked away and the four continued to eat their ramen.

Once they were done, the four went on their separate ways. Three to train and one to cloud watch.

Sasuke walked home after a long day of training.

'I sure am looking forward to mom's cooking.'

He arrived at the district and nodded to family members' who greeted him.

"Sasuke, how have you been?"

Sasuke stopped walking to see his cousin walking towards him.

"Fine, how have you been Marihe?" Sasuke asked.

"Great, the baby's due in a couple of months!"

"That's nice to hear. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"

"Not yet, Daime and I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Well, I have to go, dinner's probably about ready. It was good seeing you."

"You too, take care."

"Likewise."

Sasuke turned back around and continued walking towards his house. Once he got he took of his shoes and walked towards the kitchen.

"Dinner smells great."

"Thank you." The cook said.

Sasuke greeted his family and sat down at the table.

"How was your day sweetie?" Mikoto asked.

"Good, I got assigned a mission with Naruto, Neji and Shikamaru. We're leaving tomorrow morning at eight."

"Where are you going?" Itachi asked.

"To the Grass Village."

"Be careful." Mikoto said.

"Come back in one piece." Fugaku added.

Sasuke nodded his head.

The rest of dinner was spent talking about less serious matters, such as Mikoto's day out with the girls.

Sasuke opened the door to see Sakura sitting on the windowsill, looking out at the sky.

'She seems to like doing that? I wonder what she thinks about.'

Sasuke shook his head at that thought.

'Why should I care what she thinks about?'

Sakura turned around when she felt someone staring at her. Her eyes widened when she saw Sasuke.

"Sasuke-sama." She said bowing down.

Sasuke stared at the back of her head as she bowed down.

'Such an unusual hair color, I've never seen anything like it.'

"Get up."

Sakura quickly got to her feet.

"I'm leaving on a mission tomorrow morning. I'll be back in several days."

"May I ask what this mission is about?"

"We're retrieving a scroll."

"We?"

"Shikamaru, Naruto and Neji are coming along as well."

Sakura nodded her head.

"I'm bored with talking."

Sakura watched as Sasuke stalked towards her with a predatory gleam in his eyes.

He pushed her onto the bed and climbed on top of her.

"I have to get up early so we'll have to make the most of what time we have." Sasuke said before his lips descended onto Sakura's.

Sasuke stared up at the ceiling as Sakura lay sleeping beside him.

'The feeling that something bad is going to happen just won't go away. I wonder if the other guys feel it as well. I'll have to ask them tomorrow.'

Sasuke turned his head and looked at the sleeping Sakura. Even in sleep she looked beautiful. She had this small smile on her face as she slept that made her look even more angelic.

Sasuke reached a hand out and slowly pushed a strand of hair out of her face. He didn't it to wake her up, she hadn't fallen asleep to long ago and he didn't want her to wake back up. She might ask what he was thinking and that would be annoying.

'No point thinking anymore, it won't do any good. Besides, I have to get up early tomorrow.'

Sakura shifted in her sleep and Sasuke watched her as she rolled over so her back was facing him. He followed suit and fell asleep with his back facing the window.

Sasuke awoke the next morning and immediately shut his eyes.

'It's to fuckin' early; I don't want to get up.'

After lying in bed for a few more minutes, Sasuke reluctantly got up. He looked at Sakura and narrowed his eyes when he saw how comfortable she looked.

'Stupid girl, getting to stay in bed.'

He dragged his feet towards his bathroom, mumbling about stupid mornings. After taking his shower, Sasuke walked a little quicker, the shower having woken him up a bit.

Sasuke left his room and walked towards the kitchen. He sighed when he only saw the cook.

'Everyone's sleeping but me. God I hate mornings.'

He ate breakfast and walked back upstairs to grab his backpack. He walked back downstairs and put on his ninja shoes. He walked out the door, locked it and began his walk to the front gates.

Sasuke nodded his head in greeting to the few people who were up.

'It figures all the old people would be up.'

He walked out of his district and onto the quiet road. He ignored all the people attempting to sell him things and just focused on getting to the gates.

Sasuke finally arrived and saw that he was the first one there.

'I was kind of expecting Neji to be here.'

As soon as he thought that, he heard footsteps behind him.

'Must be Neji.'

He turned around and sure enough, he saw Neji. The two nodded in greeting. Several minutes later, Shikamaru and Naruto showed up.

"This is so troublesome." Shikamaru mumbled.

"This village is so quiet now that it's kinda creepy." Naruto said.

The four started walking out the gates when Sasuke stopped them.

"Wait, I have something to ask you guys."
